Auntie Mai's Vietnamese Cafe — Restaurant in Melbourne

🔥👌🏼

Thank you Auntie Mai for this lovely cafe. I came across this restaurant because I was in the Fitzroy Gardens, and craving for some phở and lo and behold, this place came up.

This might seem ridiculous, but prior to eating, I had thoroughly mixed the contents of the bowl. Nonetheless, it got better as I kept on eating, and by the time I was finished, I was satisfied.

Neat and clean restaurant with emphasis on good food and a friendly staff, I'm going back to this...

I got the Rice Vermicelli with Tofu, it came with Mushrooms, Pineapple, Capsicum, pickled Carrot, lettuce, cucumber... it was very flavoursome. I highly recommend it, it was a light meal but very feeling! I cannot wait to come back here to try the Banh Mi rolls and Stir Fry with Rice. You can sit out the front on the footpath table and chairs, indoors or an outdoor area at the back which is...

The premise was good and very clean. Not cramped. Good choice of food, reasonably priced. The rice paper roll was freshly made to order and ingredients tasted fresh. Best thing is you can mix the filling for the three pieces that you get.

They also offered small selections of cakes and I liked the...
